Verdict

MY SHAREENA (11) wound up from midfield on the turn and didn't have the cleanest passage in the straight but still got within a long neck of the winner last start over the mile at Kembla. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and with a cosy run assured from gate one she is a key contender. The lightly raced BALLPARK (3) led from the get-go to score over this distance at Canterbury last time out at the third run of the prep. Getting up in the weights but it is fair to assume there is still improvement in store. CHEVAL DE BOIS (7) came from next to last on straightening to be beaten under two lengths when resuming over 7f at Newcastle recently. Promising three-year-old who will be hard to hold out over the extra ¾f today. SISTER DAAE (5) wasn't suited dropping back in trip at Warwick Farm last Wednesday but her effort was satisfactory. Can play a much bigger role here stepping up in distance. BARBRAY (4) is ready to show something at the third run back.
